RépondreSupprimerThanks again, Phil, for another massively entertaining battle report!
Not an easy task indeed...Many thanks Evan!
SupprimerStunning battle report once again.
RépondreSupprimerWell finished with characters and objects.
It remains only to wonder how big was French and Spanish, the power of the United States on the continent at that time, and how small control area was these new rebellious america, and how big this area is now...
Right, wars are not so easy to understand, even many years after...

SupprimerFuntastic read, as always, Phil. I must say the variety of attire rivals that of a Napoleonic battle - not just the various uniforms, but the militia/civilian clothing. Very colorful!
